Abstract: The objective of this work was to estimate the Water, Aridity and Humidity Indexes in five municipalities in the Northern region of the State of Rio de Janeiro. Average monthly temperature data and monthly rainfall totals were used for the period between 1939 and 2017. In the results obtained, it can be seen that the locations of Campos dos Goytacazes, Cardoso Moreira, Farol de São Tomé, Quissamã, São Francisco de Itabapoana_Cacimbas , according to Thorntwaite's classification, the climate type, presents characteristics of dry sub-humid regions, also showing a tendency to increase the Aridity Index (Ia) and consequently reduce the Humidity (Iu) and Water Indexes (Ih).
